Hadith 5202

عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَرَسٌ يَرْبِطُهُ الرَّجُلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَثَمَنُهُ أَجْرٌ وَرُكُوبُهُ أَجْرٌ وَعَارِيَتُهُ أَجْرٌ وَعَلَفُهُ أَجْرٌ وَفَرَسٌ يُغَالِقُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَيُرَاهِنُ فَثَمَنُهُ وِزْرٌ وَعَلَفُهُ وِزْرٌ وَفَرَسٌ لِلْبِطْنَةِ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ سَدَادًا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
It is narrated from an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Horses are of three kinds: One is the horse that a person keeps tied for the sake of Allah Almighty; its price is also a reward, riding it is also a reward, lending it temporarily is also a reward, and feeding it is also a reward. The second is the horse on which gambling and (pre-Islamic) competitions are held; the price of such a horse is a sin, and its feed is a burden for the owner. The third is the horse that is kept so that it may give birth to offspring; it is possible that because of this kind, the owner’s poverty may be removed.
